can this be used to shampoo and clean a shag carpet?

My answer would be no. You might be able to vacuum up excess water in the carpet but you'd need something else to accomplish the actual shampooing.

It works well & heats up pretty quick. I use it to heat up water to shampoo the carpet. It would possibly work.

Depends. This is a very low power unit I use on no-pyle carpet to tidy up in a church fellowship area and it does a good job. The suction area is small as is the canister. It's great to tidy up but I don't think I'd use it for cleaning.

I have no idea since our home has no shag carpets but it works well on all other type of carpets just by adjusting the height of the brushes. Jim

Sorry, shag carpet is difficult to clean without a shag carpet "rake" attachment. The Hoover I reviewed does not have , or offer, a rake attachment.. It has the suction but not the correct tool.

Hello Paulette, yes it can be used on carpets, I have used mine. On stains and then used carpet shampoor to suck up moisture and rince. It does say in instructions some commercial carpet cleaner user scrubber...

It works fine on shag carpet or large area rugs. Not so good on small throw rugs, regardless of pile. Too much suction.

Not sure about shag ... works great on my low pile carpets ... I have a double coated Swissie & shedding would be awful without this rake ...

Probably not. It works great on hardwood, and my lower berber-type carpet. It doesn't have the juice to pick up larger items, so I wouldn't think it would have the juice to get stuff in tall shag. Mine fills up with crumbs and dog hair....for that and it's ease-of-use it is perfect.

I don't think it would be effective. The suction is pretty weak as it only picks up loose hairs from non-fabric surfaces. It's good for quick pet hair picks up when you're expecting company, etc.

I think it would do ok . I have a shag carpet in a bedroom also have a dog in there it did a good job on it. I use it mostly on hardwood it t has roller brushes. I hope this helps.

I have not used it on Shag carpets, just industrial type, and very low pile, but considering the size of the teeth, and how close they are, I can't imagine it would work on Shag carpet well at all... Essentially, it has the teeth of a metal pet brush. to get into shag carpet, you would need much thicker, and wider spaced teeth.

It might work if your carpet has a very low nap. Otherwise, you will need something with a rotating brush to pick up the hair from a thicker carpet. It is fairly powerful for the size and works well on floors.

It works on thick carpets very well. I personally have a shag rug as an area rug in the lr. On the lowest suction setting you can carefully glide the vac over the shag rug and it will clean it. You just need to be careful in general while vacumming a shag rug . This is a new experience for me as well.

I do not have thick carpets, so I really can't give you an answer. I do have shag carpets in one room and it works well with the spinning brush disconnected. It seems to have good suction without the brush spinning. We are very happy with how well it handles our carpets.
